I have been off now for about 5 months after a foot operation which is looking like is going to take over a year to fully heal, i still have a lot of swelling and actually have to wear a shoe on that foot that is two sizes bigger, i have my first face to face with Atos next week and i know they will be trying to force me back to work...can i ask to have unpaid special leave for say about 5-6 months to give me time to fully recover, should i be phoning the union now for assistance with my problem?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Problem is that i can only manage to walk a few meters and the pain is quite bad so what special duty could they put me on in a delivery office and how long would they be willing to accomodate me :sad:
You can do light duties at your MC.
